Cooking Party Booking Experience ✨ Hi Contra Community ❤️ Taking part in a Lovable challenge feels like the perfect way to celebrate reaching 1,000 followers and to build something meaningful along the way 💃 I built a complete booking experience for cooking host in Prague 🥙 who organizes culinary parties and currently manages everything through Instagram DMs ⛔ Before: Instagram DMs → questions → checking availability → manual confirmation → rescheduling → reminders ✅ After: Choose an event → book a spot → get confirmation → add to calendar → reschedule or cancel yourself The host also gets an admin dashboard to manage bookings, guest information, and communication with less manual work and more control 🔗 Project Link: https://coocked.live 🔗 Host access: https://coocked.live/admin Password: prague2026! 🎥 Demo & Process - Video is attached to this post In the video, I also share the full creation process from Figma to Lovable, Resend, Supabase, mobile adaptation, admin dashboard, and end-to-end testing 📚 Resources If you’re also exploring how to connect Lovable + Resend + Supabase, I recommend checking out the tutorials on the Lovable YouTube channel. They were really helpful while building this project: https://www.youtube.com/live/5ZL744_Wxjo?si=Dhw7K84V65OS--Ix 🎁 I also put together a short guide with booking-flow best practices from Nielsen Norman Group, based on my research for this challenge: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qApc_y8A1GjY3FLLBaluOCzHtXj6ecmf/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=111384458084546297516&rtpof=true&sd=true 🌐 Social media post links: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Ns_h8reJmhsY7o0kExlBC-VV4QYUgGdQ0dYVZDI4P68/edit?usp=sharing Guys, definitely give this a try in Lovable it’s such a fun and surprisingly easy experience to build something that actually works And if you found this project useful or inspiring, I’d really appreciate your support! ❤️❤️❤️

This is so inspiring, Alex! ❤️ You’ve actually made me want to book a cooking party myself — spending an evening making delicious food and meeting new people sounds so lovely! Such a fun idea, and I love how you’ve made taking that first step and joining in feel so easy. Now I just need an excuse to visit Prague! 🥹🍝✨

Aww, thank you so much Diana! ❤️ That honestly makes me so happy to hear! And if you ever make it to Prague, you definitely need to try one I promise it’s worth the trip! 🍝✨ I’ll be glad to see you in Prague again 🫶

Alex, I love how much thought you’ve put into both sides of this experience! ❤️ Being able to book a cooking party, add it to your calendar, and manage changes yourself makes so much sense as a guest. And for the host, having bookings and guest details in one place could save so...

Diana, thank you so much! ❤️ This means a lot. I really wanted to think about both sides of the experience not only making booking easier for the guest, but also reducing the manual work for the host. And yes, hopefully that means more time for cooking and bringing people...

This is such a practical use of Lovable, Alex! ❤️ Running a small business involves so many little tasks that add up, and managing every booking through DMs can easily take over your day. I love that you’ve focused on making things easier for the person behind these cooking...

the before and after list is the part i'd lead with. reschedule or cancel yourself is the line that actually gives the host her evenings back, the rest is nice-to-have. booking flows are unglamorous and they're exactly what people judge a small business on.
Oleksandra's avatar
Hyperactive Design logo
Exactly! 🙌 That was one of the main things I wanted to solve giving the host her time back instead of having to manage every small booking change through DMs. Thank you so much for noticing that! ❤️

Congrats on 1,000 followers. Replacing the Instagram DM back and forth with self-serve rescheduling is a real fix. Did the host admin side take longer to get right than the guest flow?
Oleksandra's avatar
Hyperactive Design logo
Thank you so much for your support 😍 Host admin side took around 20 minutes in lovable without any prepared designs like I have for guest user role in figma 😃 🔥

Great example of turning a manual process into a simple system.
I’ve seen the same in bookkeeping: a business may have $12K in sales across Stripe, PayPal, and bank transfers, but without a proper workflow, duplicates and missing expenses can make the profit numbers inaccurate.
Good systems make the numbers clear too.
Oleksandra's avatar
Hyperactive Design logo
Thank you sooo much! ❤️ I love that comparison. It’s amazing how the right workflow can turn a messy manual process into something much clearer and easier to manage 😍 🙌
